18. Mr. Robathan

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what representations he has received regarding Government funding for education in Leicestershire. [157925]

Ms Estelle Morris

My right hon. Friend has received a number of representations on Government funding for education in Leicestershire from schools and parents. We are continuing to increase general funding to Leicestershire; in 2001–02 Leicestershire's SSA will increase by £14.7 million and its schools will receive an increase in direct grant of £4.2 million.
